'Barely Beethoven' from chamber music society

Greg Kostraba

SUNDAY: At Fowler Hall, the five musicians will have a conversation. With their bows and keys, they will speak in the common language of Beethoven. And the audience will get to listen in to all of it.

The Tippecanoe Chamber Music Society will perform "Barely Beethoven" at 3 p.m. Sunday in Fowler Hall at Purdue University's Stewart Center. The concert will feature all early works of the great composer, including one from his teacher, Joseph Haydn. The performers - two violinists, a violist, a pianist and a cellist - will perform Piano Quartet Opus 16, String Quartet Opus 33 No. 5 and Violin Sonata No. 4.

Greg Kostraba, the pianist of the group, said the audience will immediately notice the intimacy of chamber music. Each person will take away something different, he said.

"You can't go wrong with Beethoven, and you can't go wrong with Haydn," he said. "You put them together and it's going to be a bang."

When: 3 p.m. Sunday

Where: Fowler Hall, Stewart Center, 128 Memorial Mall, West Lafayette

How much: $11 for adults, $5 for college students and free for students in kindergarten through 12th grade

Also: Tickets are available in advance at the Tippecanoe Arts Federation, Von's Books in West Lafayette or at the door.
